Abstract

For a respective passenger car, a number of passengers situated therein and/or a number of available spaces is determined. A passenger flow simulation is initialized on the basis of the determined numbers is provided. A multiplicity of potential directions of movement are furthermore determined, for which a multiplicity of direction of movement-specific movement profiles are read in. The initialized passenger flow simulation is then executed for a respective movement profile, wherein a distribution value that rates a resultant passenger distribution is determined in each case. From the potential directions of movement, depending on the determined distribution values, specific directions of movement are selected and are output as direction of movement indications on passenger-specific and/or location-specific direction indicators is also provided.
